Volvo Trucks Boosts Offerings with Volvo VNX Tridem Model
Volvo Trucks’ powerful Volvo VNX 630 model, designed for high gross weight applications and heavy-haul tasks, including heavy equipment hauling, oil and gas delivery and timber transport, is now offered with a tridem rear axle group.
The goal is to deliver maximum traction and an increased payload for customers.
Customized to meet the demanding requirements of heavy-haul applications, the Volvo VNX 630 tridem features three rear drive axles instead of two, resulting in an 8×6 configuration that can easily manage up to a 69,000 lb. rear axle load. The extra traction capabilities of the tridem axle enables the VNX 630 tridem to easily traverse steep terrain, mud, ice and other off-road conditions.
“Power and performance are two benefits our heavy-haul customers demand,” said Gӧran Nyberg, president of Volvo Trucks North America. “The VNX tridem meets these needs, offering a solution to ensure the easier transportation of heavy-haul loads.”
Equipped with the Volvo D16 engine delivering up to 600 horsepower and 2,050 lb.-ft. torque, the VNX comes standard with the Volvo I-Shift automated manual transmission. The I-Shift’s integrated sensors identify truck load and road grade to place the truck in the right gear for the conditions, allowing for smooth, optimum shifts, improved fuel efficiency and extended clutch life and service intervals.
The VNX 630 features a mid-roof sleeper equipped with Volvo’s ergonomic dash, ample storage room and contemporary styling and trim levels, ranging from vinyl for rugged applications to premium leather for ultimate driver comfort.
